Why can't he just do a
pg_dump -F p his_dbname > his_dbname.sql
Then copy dbname.sql to a jump/thumb drive on the old laptop
copy the data from the jump/thumb drive to the new laptop
create the new db in 9.5
and use pg_restore to load the his_dbname.sql ?
Because it's not the same version, so that will cause some errors.
pg_dump is backwards compatible to version 7.0.--But i guess we should be able to live with that.
Thanks, i guess i was thinking a bit too rigid.

As Adrian and I have said, pg_dump and pg_dumpall as backwards compatible and the recommended method for porrting data from one version
to another. You will NOT get errors if you use plain format.--
