Yes....I know I am a veteran and I SHOULD know this....but I can't find
it on the Internet anywhere...can someone explain the top CPU output and
the abbreviations?

Cpu(s):  4.4% us,  0.6% sy,  0.0% ni, 92.2% id,  2.2% wa,  0.6% hi,
0.0% si

us = user?
sy = sys?
ni = nice?
id = idle?
wa =?
hi = ?
si = ?

Thanks!
