You will need to use the answers of the week. And don't forget the theme and that you had to be on TRACK.

First you must realize the PCX file is a fairly obsolete image format and find an image browser to open it (or ask a friend). After opening it, you see a picture of a train on tracks with numbers and letters on the tracks:
1-9:3-2:2-7:2-2:5-5;3-1:1-3:2-6:2-4:4-7:3-3:3-8;B:5-6:2-7:3-6:4-6:5-11:2-4
B:3-2:1-3:4-7:2-4:3-3:4-7:2-1:1-9:3-3:2-3:5-8;1-9:4-5:4-6:2-6:4-7:1-9:4-6:4-7
Using the numbers as indexes into the week’s answers and the letters as letters, you get the following:
Truly =
1-9:3-2:2-7:2-2:5-5
Gardner =
3-1:1-3:2-6:2-4:4-7:3-3:3-8
Bluford
B:5-6:2-7:3-6:4-6:5-11:2-4
Brandenstein
B:3-2:1-3:4-7:2-4:3-3:4-7:2-1:1-9:3-3:2-3:5-8
Thornton
1-9:4-5:4-6:2-6:4-7:1-9:4-6:4-7
Which are the names of the astronauts from the 8th NASA space shuttle mission .
Thus putting together 8 and train tracks, as well as this week's answers/theme, you get 8 Track, an obsolete audio format.
