Got this in my inbox:

1/3:
"I got my first Rubix cube in 1978, and oh I couldn't put it down, not
til I solved it.
Took a couple of days but I got it.
No reading manuals or cheat sheets or anything, all on my own.
But first, I had to label it.
The colors on the pieces were useless.
I had a braille dimo writer so it was no trouble to make labels and
stick them on.
However, as I solved it again and again, with improved procedures, and
as my friends played with it, the stickers wore off."
...

2/3
"Sometimes they even pulled the color paper off as well, so parts of the
cube were just black plastic.
It was unsustainable.
Now advance 45 years.
What do I find at a garage sale but a Rubix cube with no colors.
The plastic has a silver finish all the way around."
...

3/3
"The distinguishing factors are the sizes of the pieces.
If you turn a face 90 degrees from start, it looks off kilter.
Some pieces are longer, wider, taller, than others.
It only makes a cube when solved, otherwise it looks like a jumble of
plastic rectangles stuck together.
The sighted person has almost no advantage here.
And there's nothing to wear off, so I can play with it for years to
come.
It's COOL!

It was on the mailing list for edbrowse(1) - a line/text-based web browser. Brilliant fit for scripting web-stuff. Also brilliant if you are visually impaired. It has it's own Javascript engine too.
