Mac virgin, help!

I have been asked to take a look at a friends Mac, it is running OSX 10.2.8.

It takes an absolute age to get to the login screen, generally I am told it runs very sluggish.

As a Max OS X virgin, what should I be looking at!?!?

iMac ver 2.1

256 Meg RAM
800 MHz

What else do you need to know sorry!

I don't have any media I am afraid, just the keyboard, iMac and mouse.

It doesn't really matter to be honest, I just though maybe there were a quick few things I could do.

Is that non destructive, there are lots of documents and pictures on the machine.

The machine is up to date with patches etc, I managed to find that utility!!!

How do I open a browser on it!?

Open a browser on a Mac, I can't see a safari icon anywhere!!!
