Bring back the room sized mainframe computer from Saucer Men, 1949?
INT. COMPUTER TRAILER - NIGHT
A TECHNICIAN feeds a stack of cards into a huge primitive computer. It rapidly counts the signatures on each card and records the data on spools of computer tape.
I'd love to see Indy at least stroll through the engineering department at Marshall. Wikipedia says "computers using vacuum tubes as their electronic elements were in use throughout the 1950s, but by the 1960s had been largely replaced by transistor-based machines." Then the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis hastened the development of a secure computer network, the early internet. 20 years later we had message boards and the online dungeon crawl Rogue (http://groups.google.com/group/net.movies/browse_thread/thread/8e57c5f25dc2c91c) ...possibly suggested by Indy himself? :)
