I have been scouting sources for 3.5" diskettes for the Mac,
and have found prices as low as $1.99 each (in 100 lots), and as high
as $6.24.

Are there any brands with which people have had bad experiences?
The next cheapest I know of are $2.74 each, Memorex brand.  Beyond that,
they all seem to go for about $3 to $3.50 from almost everybody.
The $2 ones are "Conroy-LaPointe" brand which they say are relabeled
Sony's.  (Conroy-LaPointe is a Portand, Oregon -based discount house.
Their phone number, if you're interested, is 800-547-1289 (or 800-451-5151 in
Oregon)

I'm also interested in bad experiences people have had with modems.
